Albanian Brooklyn Boy Jihadi Wannabe Sentenced To 15 Years
[NY Mag] A federal judge in Brooklyn who sentenced a would-be terrorist to fifteen years in prison on Tuesday was thoroughly unimpressed by the man's "lengthy apology" and said he wished he could sentence him to more time. Agron Hasbajrami, a former architecture student and Albanian immigrant living legally in Brooklyn, pleaded guilty last year to one count of attempting to provide material support to gunnies after he mailed $1,000 to a contact in Pakistain and then allegedly tried to fly to the Middle East to join an Islamist terrorist group there. He was nabbed Please don't kill me! trying to board a plane in 2011. As part of his plea deal, he faced a maximum of fifteen years in prison, but in exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped additional charges that could have exposed Hasbajrami to life in prison.
